Bukchon Hanok Village Jinjak Kakii Anguk store, Japanese fusion restaurant

I was hungry after visiting Changdeokgung Palace a while ago, so I went to a Japanese fusion restaurant called jinjak Kakii among the many restaurants around Bukchon Hanok Village.

It is not actually a Japanese-run restaurant, but a franchise restaurant borrowing the concept.

It's known through Instagram, so I went there with my son.

Pork Neck Don

It is a franchise that feels like a fusion of Italian food and Japanese food concept.

After visiting Changdeokgung Palace, it would be nice to visit as it is close by.

In fact, the signature food here is futomaki (tuna, eel) and Kakii platter (oysters, salsa, lemon), but it was too grand for lunch, so I ordered Cod Roe Carbonara Pasta and Pork Neck Don.

The interior is impressive, as if a Japanese-style mini garden has been moved to the window in a sunny spot.

I ordered a drink first.

Pork Neck Don & Cod Roe Carbonara

And the menu I ordered came out, and the visual is amazing.

Pork Neck Don & Cod Roe Carbonara

Cod Roe Carbonara

In the case of Cod Roe Carbonara Pasta, the creamy pasta is topped with cod roe, so the salty and savory flavors harmonize to create a different taste.

Pork Neck Don

Pork Neck Don is a chestnut topped with tender pork neck meat, served with spicy wasabi and Japanese sweet sauce to whet your appetite.

Personally, I think both dishes will suit most people's tastes. Perfect for lunch menu.

However, if you want to enjoy the signature of this place, try the aforementioned futomaki (tuna, eel) and Kakii platter (oysters, salsa, lemon).

If you are hungry after touring Changdeokgung Palace, I can recommend this place to jinjak Kakii.

iPhone 14 Pro Max everyday camera

The improvement of the iPhone 14's camera performance seems to have changed my photography life a bit. In everyday life, most of the cases do not carry a camera, so even at the moment when I did not take a picture, I trusted the iPhone 14 Pro Max and took a picture. As a result, there are more daily photos than in the past. The photos below are daily photos taken over a period of less than a month. Most of the photos were taken with Apple ProRaw and converted to jpg with Lightroom. Even when I see fallen leaves falling under my feet, I take pictures of things I would otherwise have missed. In a low-light environment such as at night, if it was my previous iPhone XS MAX, I would not have attempted to take a picture, but I do not hesitate to take out my iPhone and take a picture. Even in environments like the dark basement like the one pictured above, you can capture satisfying photos with plenty of detail. Of course, recent mirrorless cameras will show better image quality in low li...

Korean Palace, A palace in harmony with nature Changdeokgung Palace

Changdeokgung Palace was built in the 5th year of King Taejong (1405) as a second palace of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main palace. Located to the east of Gyeongbokgung Palace, it was called the East Palace along with Changgyeonggung Palace.  It was all burnt down during the Imjin War(Japanese Invasion), but was rebuilt during the reign of King Gwanghaegun. It served as the main palace until Gyeongbokgung Palace was rebuilt during the reign of King Gojong, and it was the palace where kings lived for the longest period of time among the palaces of Joseon. Changgyeonggung Palace was built right next to Seongjongdae to provide a comfortable space for the royal family at Changdeokgung Palace. Usually, when you say you are visiting the palaces, you are told to visit Changdeokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace together. Hanyang in the Joseon Dynasty was a walled city surrounded by large walls, and within it were the major palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, ...
